YUM! So a long time ago I tried to make something sortof like this recipe and it turned out a terrible mess! So I really didn’t want to make this but tom thought it sounded so good and looked so cool so we tackled it. And wow!!! It turned out perfectly! And since we let it set up for a while it was really easy to cut and looked really pretty. Taste wise it was delicious and complex and very filling. It’s a good-for-you meal too because of all of the fiber, protein, and complex carbs. Great vegetarian meal that looks really cool.
Tortilla Pie
from jan 07 runners world
1 tablespoon olive oil1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery stalk, chopped i never, EVER add celery to anything! i hate it! any recipe that has celery just know that i didn't add it. gross!
1 clove garlic, minced
1 15-oz can yellow corn, drained
1 15-oz can kidney beans, drained
1 15-oz can black beans, drained
1 15-oz can small white beans, drained used NAVY beans, of course!
1 6-oz can tomato paste
1 tablespoon taco seasoning home made; recipe below
1 tablespoon dried basil whoops! forgot to add this! probably would have added a little sweetness but still good without...
5 10- to 12-inch soft tortillas we ended up just using 4 because i think i bought like super-extra-large tortillias; like 14"!
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or less, of course
In a frying pan, heat oil and saute the onions, celery, and garlic until onions are transparent. Add corn, beans, tomato paste, and seasoning, heat thoroughly. Set two tablespoons of the bean mix aside. Place one tortilla shell on a baking sheet lightly coated with cooking spray, and spoon a few tablespoons of the bean mix onto it; spread evenly. Place a tortilla on top of beans, top with mix again, and repeat until pie is five layers high. Add two tablespoons water to the remaining mix and spread over the top of the tortilla (this will prevent it from drying out during baking). Bake at 350? for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, and bake until cheese is melted. Let sit for 15 minutes. Serves six.

I totally forgot to buy taco seasoning so we quick hopped online and searched a recipe on google to find one. This one was teriffic and didn’t make too much so there;s more but not a whole ton. And the only ingredient I didn’t have was the onion powder. Looks like it’s time to send some more business to penzey’s spices!
